Hi Jerry:
Glad your shoulder has healed. Did you mount the switch blade on your Best snow kite board. Or do you have an old used board you mount the switch blade on . Saving the best for when the snow is stuck to the ice.
I am thinking of expanding my riding options. I currently use skis.

Mount the SwitchBlade to an cheap board, because drilling through board is required to mount the blade bracket. I like the SB best when the surface 50/50 ice snow.

Jerry, how well would Ripely work right now with out a swithcblade? I have to start using up vacation time this week. Unfortinately the wind forcast doesn't look to good I want to get out Thur or Fri. I'll come out and ride with ya if your not working, let me know.
MAX, TERRY , LEVI, C-MONK-E, & I GOT SOME RIDES out on Turtle today. It was sketchy wind, and snow had blown off some spots leaving ice patches. I smacked down, lost my skis & realized I needed more padding. Got back to my anchor point, but then my PL decided to fly without me. Went to the van to warm up...low tire warning.... .bagged it. Ice packs on one end...Kahlua & cocoa on the other.

Yo Dave, the surface on Ripley was working for Rick & John from St.Cloud + myself on snowboards with out the SwitchBlade. The surface could change since then. Sunday we were sharing the 2 meter Mossy with those high winds. Rick set up an portable shelter. nice. Peter set up, and then down a 6m Ozy. and said enough of that
Hey Mike B., remember using my 2 m. in those white out conditions on Milly a few years back. Wow some rides we'll never forget.
I'll have Fri. off, so hoping for some warmer temps and wind.
